Worst finding of all—GMOs remain inside of us

The only published human feeding study revealed what may be the most dangerous
problem from GM foods. The gene inserted into GM soy transfers into the
DNA of bacteria living inside our intestines and continues to
function.[xxvi] This means that long after we stop eating GMOs, we may
still have potentially harmful GM proteins produced continuously inside
of us. Put more plainly, eating a corn chip produced from Bt corn might
transform our intestinal bacteria into living pesticide factories,
possibly for the rest of our lives.

When evidence of gene transfer is reported at medical conferences around
the US, doctors often respond by citing the huge increase of
gastrointestinal problems among their patients over the last decade. GM
foods might be colonizing the gut flora of North Americans.

Warnings by government scientists ignored and denied

Scientists at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had warned about all
these problems even in the early 1990s. According to documents released
from a lawsuit, the scientific consensus at the agency was that GM foods
were inherently dangerous, and might create hard-to-detect allergies,
poisons, gene transfer to gut bacteria, new diseases, and nutritional
problems. They urged their superiors to require rigorous long-term
tests.[xxvii] But the White House had ordered the agency to promote
biotechnology and the FDA responded by recruiting Michael Taylor,
Monsanto’s former attorney, to head up the formation of GMO policy. That
policy, which is in effect today, denies knowledge of scientists’
concerns and declares that no safety studies on GMOs are required. It is
up to Monsanto and the other biotech companies to determine if their foods
are safe. Mr. Taylor later became Monsanto’s vice president.
